ALHI Introduces New Collection of Historic Hotels
July 27, 2010
To help meeting planners find, select and book meeting space at historic properties, Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI) has launched a new collection of historically significant resorts and hotels, it announced this month. The collection, the "ALHI Historic Collection," consists of 22 member hotels and resorts that are designed for meetings, conventions, exhibitions and events.
"ALHI has one of the largest collections — if not the largest collection — of historic hotels and resorts in the U.S.," ALHI President and CEO David Gabri said in a statement. "These truly outstanding and distinctive Four- and Five-Diamond properties each specialize in meetings and incentive programs, and have an incredible history that will really enhance any program to make it truly memorable."
Members of the new ALHI Historic Collection — which will continue to benefit from the services of ALHI's national sales team — include:
• The Adolphus (Dallas, Texas)
• The Biltmore (Coral Gables, Fla.)
• The Broadmoor (Colorado Springs, Colo.)
